At the last place there was a reported prank seems the best idea, to me. You ready to go now, or you need to finish up anything in here?

[He definitely wants to get a move on, see what kind of prestige he can build up. What kind of money he can scare up with these bigger quests, too.]

[beautifulbeast]

Oh, definitely!

[She pauses a moment to settle up what bill she has but then she's right alongside Jack, hands tucked behind her back and a thoughtful look on her face.]

I believe the last place that reported anything about this Jack was a stable nearby. He set all of the horses loose?

[Hmm. She tilts her head a touch.]

I did talk to a few people in the pub, casually at least, and that was what I heard anyhow. Has he turned up anywhere else since?

[theonlyrealthing]

I heard he gave the miller donkey ears somehow.

[Which suggests someone with magic, obviously.]

It could be one of us. The newcomers. Or it could be one of the fae, like in the shop. Or just some local with a few weird spells on hand.

[beautifulbeast]

[Juno goes a bit wide-eyed at that.]

One of the newcomers? I hadn't thought of that.

[She blows out a breath.]

What a terrible thing to do though. Ears aren't bad but when you're not used to them I imagine they can be pretty inconvenient!

[theonlyrealthing]

Aw, they're not that bad.

[And he demonstrates by growing a pair of his own, pretty proud of himself for working out shapeshifting at all and happy to show it off. Partial changes like that are, in fact, easier than a full transformation. His are rabbit ears, though. He finds those are the easiest, if he wants something big.]

And it didn't last. When I spoke to the miller, his ears were back to normal.

[beautifulbeast]

[Juno doesn't disguise the way she starts back at those sudden ears, gawking a fair bit.]

WHAT!

[She hasn't run into anyone who can shapeshift clearly. She blinks several times before she shakes it off.]

Ah, that's... good. For the miller, I mean.

[theonlyrealthing]

[He grins at her surprise, and waggles the ears at her.]

Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I've got animal magic, and that includes both talking to animals-- not ones like you, miss, but ones that don't talk like we do-- and shapeshifting into them.

[beautifulbeast]

[How strange it was to think of animals that didn't talk. Sure she's seen them so far but... it's still odd.]

Oh, that's part of your magic here then?

[Magic was a truly confusing thing. She tilts her head a little.]

I think mine is healing. I haven't really gotten to use it much though so -- hm?

[She pauses. Sounds like there's some noise coming from a nearby shop. It's not exactly boisterous or happy either.]

[theonlyrealthing]

Yeah. Definitely new to this place.

[Both rabbit ears swivel in that direction, and he slides off his stool with clear interest.]

Sounds like something to investigate, hey, Juno?

[beautifulbeast]

I think so. It's at least something to look at.

[Beyond interviewing people who've already been interviewed a dozen times. At least the shop is easy to find with all the noise going on and when Juno in all of her brazen glory creaks the door open --]

Oh!

[A pot flies out the door! And just... keeps going? It's definitely not thrown, that's for sure.]
